Broadcast listing — not a TV Flash recap.

Minneapolis – Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Minneapolis, MN, on the tense confrontations between federal immigration officers and residents following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent. Andy Court, Annabelle Hanflig, Camilo Montoya-Galvez, and Michael Rey are the producers.  Inside CECOT – Last year, the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador, a country most had no ties to, claiming they were terrorists. This unusual move sparked an ongoing legal battle, and ten months later, the U.S. government still has not released the names of all those deported and placed in CECOT, one of El Salvador's harshest prisons. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi speaks with some of the now-released deportees, who describe the brutal and torturous conditions they endured inside CECOT. Oriana Zill de Granados is the producer. Salties – Australian wildlife is varied and, at times, deadly. The most feared reptile is the saltwater crocodile, an apex predator that can grow to 20 feet and can crush a human skull with its jaw. Reporting from Australia's crocodile country, CBS News' Holly Williams takes a close look at Australia's "salties," who are protected by law, and reports on the recent surge in friction with its human neighbors. Erin Lyall is the producer.

The template of TV newsmagazine power — for the craft of the package and the history of broadcast investigation. Hewitt's stopwatch, Wallace's ambush, Safer and Bradley and Rooney's endnotes: Sunday night investigative theater that outrated sitcoms. Appointment news before the infinite scroll. Tick, tick, tick.

Tick, tick, tick — not a theme song, a weapon. CBS's 60 Minutes, Don Hewitt's stopwatch since 1968, was an 1980s Nielsen bully that outrated sitcoms on Sunday night: investigative pieces, profiles, commentator segments, correspondent star power. Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, Harry Reasoner, Ed Bradley, Diane Sawyer, Andy Rooney's endnotes. **Ambush interviews and gotcha lore made Wallace a fearsome brand.** The museum guard wants the package as civic virtue. The flash is the ambush. Appointment news before the…
